I purchased the Equinox about 3 years ago and it had 1 prior owner. Since purchasing the vehicle the battery has been replaced 3 times. . I have had several issues with start up. And recently I have noticed that the car is not shifting properly. On my way home from work last week it felt like the car was just not running properly, I ended up stalling on the highway at a very dangerous intersection. . When I finally it home it stalled again in the driveway. . I'm really having a hard time understanding how this vehicle has so many issues and there have been no recalls! I work hard to pay the bills I already have and really cannot afford to keep fixing thing or pay for a new vehicle. . Please tell chevy to pull their heads out of their butts and try helping some hard working folks instead of trying to kill them!.

My 2005 Chevrolet Equinox stalled and would not restart in traffic for approximately the 5th time in the past three years. The first four times were finally diagnosed by gm as a faulty computer that was getting wet due to a bad seal from the sunroof. Because of these problems, I leased another car for my wife while I was deployed to iraq so I would not have to worry about her safety. The car has been running fine for the past year that I have been home. I have routinely changed my oil and inspected fluids and air pressures etc. On vehicles. The latest occurrence happened on my way home from work. It stalled was due to what the dealer is calling internal damage. Speaking to a claims agent for gm I was initially told to have dealer call for an authorization. They refused to honor my extended gm warranty and are demanding $1700 just to tear it down to see what the fault or problem is. I have contacted gm ext warranty and they have finally agreed to send a inspector. Now they are demanding proof of oil changes. I contacted my oil change service center and they just sold to a new owner and cannot access old database past 1 Apr 2010. . . This vehicle has broke down (stalled with no power) on multiple occasions in very dangerous areas with limited room to pull over due to mountainous terrain and numerous big rigs traveling the route. No accidents or injuries have occurred yet, but this vehicle is an accident waiting to happen. After this latest incident, I have researched online and have found numerous examples of other people having similar incidents with this particular vehicle/motor. I am genuinely concerned for my family's safety, and furthermore, deeply disturbed that I have been paying for a gm extended warranty that they do not wish to choose to honor. What kind of pressure or recourse can your office apply to gm before they accept responsibility for a product that is defective and a safety hazard. I actually like this car, but it has turned into nothing but a lemon.
Beginning in 2007, the car would stall a little when I tried to start it. It would catch and start, but the noise was of some concern. Early this year, the car would fail to start at all when I went to crank it. I've had it in the service shops at two different dealerships, and they've both told me they can't find anything wrong. I was stranded again today, but the car finally started after I waited for the tow truck for more than an hour. Both times the car was in the shop, the folks working on it ran every test they new of and tried to repeat the problem but couldn't.
: the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle restarted and was placed in drive, however it did not move. The vehicle was towed to a dealership who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. Also, the vehicle shook while driving over 60 mph and when the brakes were applied. The dealership replaced the tires twice, rotated, and balanced the tires in an effort to correct the problem. The dealership also replaced the rims, wheels, and hubs, however the problem persisted. In addition, the air conditioner unit fell off the bracket which caused the engine to shut down. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. Updated10/04/06.
